Milky white sands stretching miles beyond what the human eye can see, engulfed by the crashing sea waters - the Ocean State certainly does live up to its name. Although it is the smallest of all the US states, there is so much unexplored land in the forms of abandoned caves and mysterious coves waiting for you to uncover its’ treasures.

1. Bed & Breakfast on Water: Newport Harbor (from 299 USD)
Nestled on the sparkling waters of Goat Island Marina on Dock S, this unassuming little yacht can house up to six people. Get your sails up - we’re setting off! Upon stepping into the main salon of the yacht, you are greeted by a comfortable sight of cushy sofas and a flat screen TV with internet access. That means you can still catch your favourite shows even when you’re on the high seas!
Almost everyone who booked a stay here has raved about the mouthwatering blueberry scones that the hosts cook up every morning. Served promptly at 9am, the early bird gets all scones! Enjoy your gourmet continental breakfast by the spacious tabletops with a drink or two. Head up to the flybridge lounge for a stunning panoramic view of the docks. When the summer heat gets too unbearable, hide out here with your AC on full blast, as you watch the ships sail past lazily. Serve up some simple homemade dinner when everyone is back home, and end the day in laughter and light, as you watch the sun go down over the horizons. Indulge in a little late night reading just before you climb into your king-sized bed. With soft lilac wallpaper winding around the room, it sets a calming atmosphere for you to fall asleep in.

2. Woody Retreat: Saunderstown Cabin by Wickford (from 399 USD)

Adorned with many vintage trinkets, the room is dyed with warm tones from the moment you step inside. Explore the hosts’ personal collection of books lying in wait at every turn you make. The ocsillating fan may be old, but you can count on it to cool you down on a hot summer day! Head over to the TV room, where a toasty little fireplace is waiting for you. Spend the cold winter evenings snuggled up in your favourite wooly socks while watching the latest reruns of Harry Potter - back to Hogwarts, everyone! Wake up to the breathtaking views of flora and fauna right outside of your room - you may even catch a glimpse of the well at the corner of your eye that’s totally safe for consumption.

I now bring this passion, excitement and expertise to the Boston area.By exploring the globe, I was exposed to various cultures, and this unique perspective has taught me what appeals to people when visiting a new part of the country or a new part of the world. My fluency in English and Turkish, and my advanced skills in Spanish and intermediate skills in French, also help me to service a wider range of tourists and business people.I moved to Boston, Massachusetts several years ago, and I now reside in Brookline. I have three children, so I develop my tours to accommodate families with kids, couples, and individuals who want to visit and learn about the rich history and culture of Boston. As a parent, I know that Boston is a great place for higher education, and I have knowledge of the colleges and universities in the area.I customize tours to suit the needs and preferences of my customers. Whether you want a walking tour, a riding tour, or a little of both, I can create an itinerary that showcases the best of what Boston has to offer.My one day tours are educational and entertaining, and include the history, culture, personalities, architecture and, even the shopping areas of this renowned city.
